House votes to continue NSA spying on citizens

[a completely inoffensive name]

My hometown's (where I am still registered) representative voted Nay.

But I am not surprised, my hometown literally rests under the shadow of Reagan's body. It's a Republican Mecca and it doesn't matter how corrupt or incapable the Republican candidate is, he wins.

It won’t come up again either. Not unless it is a full bill.

The Defense bill passed shortly after the vote on the amendment failed.

This was not a party issue, it was a party line issue, and the party line won over the people. Both parties opposed the amendment and I think anyone who stood up to them should be thanked.
